| Abstract | ||||
| Meloidogyne javanica was recovered from eggplant galled roots sampled from El-Nubaria region, El-Beheira Governorate, Egypt. In pot experiments, soil amendments i.e. a mixture of cabbage, turnip and raddish seeds powder, zingiber powder, pomegranate peels powder and doves manure significantly reduced galls and egg masses numbers/root system, eggs number/1g root and second stage juveniles (J2s) number/250g soil on eggplant cultivars Laeli2hybrid and Black long grown in soil infected with Meloidogyne javanica. Results revealed that doves manure was the most effective and reduced disease parameters. On the other hand, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll contents were significantly raised in leaves of eggplant cv. Black long with the introduction of cabbage, turnip and raddish seeds powder, zingiber powder, pomegranate peels powder and doves manure a week prior nematode inoculation. Also, eggplant growth parameters (fresh and dry shoot and root lengths and weights) were significantly improved with all tested amendments. Such treatments significantly raised catalase (CAT), polyphenoloxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (PO) activity in eggplant leaves compared to infected control. | ||||
